This Wikipedia Page is dedicated to writing short descriptions about my ancestors and their stories. I've broken down my family by my great-grandparents last names and continued expanding their history onwards. The Eight Families go by the surnames Davis, Farmer, Canipe, Cook, Rash, Raye, Toney, and Clemmer. Some portions are significantly larger than others and make contact with mythological, fictitious, or religious figures whos existences are not certified. For this matter, I continued their ancestry based on the culture/religion that led up to them. Each section is not based on the lineage of the name, they're just further expansions. This means each family section will include every ancestor on both the paternal and maternal sides.

Extra Information/Guide
As human history progressed, the need for more than one name was apparent. After a certain time when keeping record of names was hard to keep up with due to duplicates, surnames were given. These surnames came from a variety of conditions, from geographical points, occupations, descriptions, or from other family members. When it comes to geographical surnames, they are largely influenced by the territory the person lived in. For example, Sarah of California. This was the case in many places across the world.

If there's a name with de, d', van, or von before the last name, it means "of".

Occupational names are usually derived from the job, or something related to the job. (Ex: Baker, Cook, Carver, Smith)

Descriptive names are based on appearance and details. (Ex. Short, Brown)

Patronymic names are given from the father. (Ex. Sam Johnson is the son of John Peterson, who's the son of Peter Henderson, etc.)

The ➤ symbol means this person's family extends farther than the chart can show.

The ∞ symbols means this person is the common ancestor to another family.
